Kinkos Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroki Watanabe; hereinafter, Kinkos) participated in 98 events organized by regions and companies in fiscal 2025. This marks a significant increase from 65 events in the previous fiscal year, with participation in events serving diverse purposes such as regional revitalization, providing experiential opportunities for children, and corporate PR.
Alongside the expansion of participation opportunities, initiatives to utilize and verify the company's own services and products at actual event sites have also progressed. Through on-site utilization, repeated verification has been carried out regarding aspects such as the ease of use of display tools, setup efficiency, and appeal to visitors. These efforts are being advanced with each Kinkos store actively participating according to local characteristics and needs.
Kinkos has set "regional co-creation" as one of its materialities (important issues) in sustainability. The company continues its efforts, viewing event participation not merely as a promotional venue, but as a point of contact for creating value together with local communities, businesses, and visitors.
In fiscal 2025, Kinkos participated in a wide range of genres, including corporate family events, education-related events, regional events, and sports-related events. They provided experiential opportunities that aim to balance fun and learning through workshops where participants can learn about the mechanisms of printing and hands-on creation experiences.
Furthermore, Kinkos is expanding its involvement with local communities for the future, such as accepting social studies field trips for local elementary schools.
**Kinkos' Unique Value Conveyed Through Event Participation**
The workshops conducted at events are planned based on the company's initiatives, with themes such as the mechanisms of printing and environmental considerations.
- Papercraft House Box & Drawing Experience
- Original Notebook Making
- Portrait Hologram Card Making
- Memory Calendar Making
Through these "making" experiences, participants can deepen their understanding of printing and craftsmanship.
Another feature of Kinkos' event participation is that all tools and decorations used at the booths are produced and operated in-house. From wall panels and large-format posters to various panels, flyers, and novelty goods, materials are prepared considering ease of transport, setup efficiency, and appeal. The participation itself becomes a scene for product utilization, leading to opportunities to convey product value concretely.
**Paper Display "Cube POP" Gathers Support at Event Sites**
Among the many produced items, the paper-based assembly-type display "Cube POP" has garnered strong support from in-house staff.
Although it was a tool that had been deployed traditionally, it can be folded and carried, allowing for manual transport. When set up, it can be utilized as a three-dimensional, highly visible display tool, and by changing the number of tiers, it can be adapted to event scales. A key feature is its ability to express information clearly even in limited spaces. Furthermore, being made of paper, costs are suppressed, and it can be reused. Its utility and appeal at event sites are expanding its use.
